I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Trefnant. The Trefnant property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

We had appointed conveyancing lawyers located in Trefnant on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Aldermore but by your Trefnant conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

We expect to receive a AIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Trefnant solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Trefnant solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Trefnant?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Trefnant.

I have been advised by many estate agents to expect up to two months for Trefnant conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The property information was only sent from the vendors conveyancer yesterday so does the time start running now?

Don't bank on completing on a specific date until contracts are exchanged. Regardless of the assurances the people you are buying from or selling to make, or your lender makes don't count on them. More frustration is caused to buyers and sellers by unfulfilled promises than any other factor when it comes to conveyancing in Trefnant.
